nue..
Papers were signed yesterday by which
Minneapolis is soon to have new theater.
The agreement is between William E.
Sterling, who was one of the syndicate con
trolling the Pence opera house when it first
reopened, and Lambert Hayes, a Washing
Ton avenue liquor dealer, who is a man of
considerable means. This agreement calls
for theater to be erected and ready for
opening by Sept. l, and on which Mr..
Sterling has Il lease and which he is to man
age. The site is on Washington avenue,
just beyond and adjoining The Plymouth
block. from which it will BIZ separated by
an alley; the ground is owned by Lambert
Hayesand the building will cost 500 600.
Manager Sterling was seen yesterday in
reference to the rumOred plan and con-
tirmed it in every detail. "Eyerythng is
ready" he said, flor the letting of the con-
tracts and work will be begun in few
days, as the building must be ready inside
of four months. 1t will be known as
the Peoples theater. and will furnish
standard attractions at rates to be
reached by all OF the people. The exterior
plans nave not Deen agreed upon, out the
interior will consist of large auditorium
handsomely fitted up, With balcony and
gallery. The seating capacity will be 2, 900.
We expect to pay the greatest attention to
the matters of ventilation and fire escapes
and TO have a building perfect in these re-
spectS-something that cannot be said for
any theater in the Twin Cities. All talk?
No indeed. this is sure thing. No noise
was made over it until everything was
ready to go ahead, and now, talk or no talk,
the Peoples theater will be built. The
city is large and growing and there is no
better field in the world for just such a
place of amusement as we propose to
have"

THE LAST DAY.
Twenty-Five Vacancies on the Foo
lice Force SO Far.


At last nights meeting of the police
commission Mayor Ames turned over the
police force, saying that he did not care
to be longer in charge because of
the disorganiZation of the force. The
law says plainly that the commission shall
enforce the laws of the state and the ordi-
nances OF the city, and he thought that now
the examination of the force was virtually
completed that it was time for the
commission to assume its duties.
1t is learned that the work of the commits
sion has resulted thus far in thirteen re-
movals ''for cause" There have been in
addition nine designations, thus creating
twenty two vacancies on the force in all.
There are also eight cases pending of men
who are still under consideration.
To-day those who are to be removed will
be notified by letter, and after that their
names will be made public. This
is done for the purpose of saw
ing the unlucky ones any I'M
necessary modification. The resignation
OF Detective Shepherd was received, it be-
ing submitted for the reason that he lacked
the three months residence required by the
law. He had lived in the city about thirty
years, but five years ago had gone to Mon
tana, returning twenty months ago, and
now finds to his sorrow that he is not a
resident of MINNEAPOLIS.

A SAM MP
Of Some of the ssBriiliant Legisla.
tiOn,, for minneapolis.

The injustice of the section of the law in
relation to the police force of the city of
Minneapolis requiring a residence of three
years is we'll illustrated in the case of De-
tective Fred Shepherd. He came to Min
neapolis thirty-five years ago, when he was
years old, andlived here until 1861, when he
went to the war with the Second Minnesota
regiment and served his country for three
years. Returning. he served on the police
force under Mayors Wilson, Merriman, De
Laittre, Ames and Rand. His wife was
taken sick, and to save her life he went
with her to Montana. When she regained
her health he returned to Minneapolis two
years ago, and being reappointed on the
police force, he served on both
the foot and mounted patrol, and was
recently detailed for detective service. He
had never given up his residence in Mime
apolis, has always been considered one of
flie most faithful members of the force and
inaddition is an old soldier, but was yes

A Slick Horse Trade.

Yesterday Torrance Grimes, who, in COM
pany with John Brunette, has been running
a sale stable on Second avenue north, between
First and Second streets, was arraigned for
stealing a team of horses, harnesses and
wagon from farmer named Moses Nevens.
who lives at Cannon City. Nevens' story is
that he went to his stable to sell his team
and was offered $3.50 in cash and wind
broken horse in exchange. He left his team
at the barn and started with Brunette, ostens-
IDLY to go to the bank to get the $3.50. On the
way Brunette suddenly ran away, leaving him
in possession of the crowbait of a horse.

Interesting Features of the Great
labor Festival and Fair.

There is no question but the coming
ginning May 16. The entertainment fea-
lures will be interesting in ali departments
Monday evening Hon. [. Donnelly will
open the kirmesS with an address upon ed
ucational matters. and Victor Drury, of
New York city, will close the kirmess Sat-
urday evening. Ralph Beaumont and Rev.
Father McGlynn have been invited to be
present and speak during the week. AS
soon as replies have been received from
these gentlemen the fact will be announced
through the press. One reason for the
great interest manifested in various ways in
this kirmeSS is the object for which it was
undertaken, that of furnishing library for
the labor temple. And one other matter
that has stimulated a great many is the
fact that the Knights of Labor Building as
ISOLATION will have the use OF all proceeds
until the library room is ready. The fair
features will be but little behind the en-
tertainment There will be more said
about this department of the kirmess
after some other parties who are holding
back on their contributions have reported
and decided upon the quality, quantity and
value thereof. The question at the meet
ing Sunday of the committee was whether
Washington rink would be large enough to
accommodate the entertainment, fair, res
taurant, dancing, tables. booths, speakers,
ETC., during the week of the kirmess.
At Sundays meeting of members of the
various committees having the kirmess in
charge, resolutions were adopted extending
to the Minneapolis harvester works through
its superintendent, George A. Hanson and
S. N. Kennedy, the thanks of the Library
association for the present of new steel
harvester and binder of the latest pattern

DOES NOT DICTATE.
City Attorney Smith COrrects Certain
SIaIementS-he Does Not Assume
Tne Duties of aM alderman.

STATE nnenIS-He Docs MOI Assume
Tne Duties OF ;aN alderman.
City Attorney Seagrave Smith very en-
phatically denies having requested the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution defining the
public work of the city," and with equal
emphasis denies having given the opinion
that 1.-THE ward work is in the control of
the respective wardS'' Said he:
My opinion on that subject has never been
solicited by any person. l wrote the resolu-
ton referred to. i wrote it at the request of
several aldermen. When l went into the
council chamber on Friday saw three or
four aldermen in consultation in one Of the
committee rooms; among them were Aid.
Mills and Lawrence. One of them called me
and inquired if there could not be something
done to eliminate the road work in the re-
spective wards from the force of the eight
hour resolution. They informed me
that a majority of those who were
doing the road work in their respective
wards desired Il change-they wanted to work
more hours and get more pay. told them
thought the passing Of resolution defining
the meaning of the eight hour resolution
(Such resolution as was drawn and intro
duced) would accomplish the purpose, and if
majority of the men working on the streets
desired to work more than eight hours and
get more pay, it might be left with the alder
men and street commissioners in each ward
in the crowd, [ think Aid. Lawrence, requested
ne to draft resolution as suggested, which
i did. Such are the facts in the matter. I
requested no one to introduce the resolution.
! drew it at the request of an alderman. If
at any time an alderman asks me to draw
motion or resolution for him, shall do it;
and if l have ability enough, l shall
draw it so it will, if
passed, accomplish the desired purpose.
1t will make..uo difference whetherit embodies
my views or not, for it is Il part of my duty
city attorney TO do such work when re-
quested. What l object to is the statement
that the resolution referred to was drawn and
introduced at my solicitation. That is not so.
l desire the public TO understand that 1 shall
lot in any way attempt to assume any of the
duties of an alderman, or to dictate TO or re-
quest them to perform any official act on be-
half OF the city, or cast any vote, unless l am
personally interested in the matter, beyond
being resident taxpayer of the city. The
performance of my own official duties is as
much as care to be responsible for. l never
gave any such opinion as the article charges
me with having given.
1t is not pleasant to me to be put in a false
position before the public. Call on me at any
time for my opinion in relation to our city
matters. If it is proper 1 shall give it. l
shall always be willing that my opinion be
known on any subject pertaining to the in
terest of the city.

THE SIDEWALK was Bad.
The City sued for $4,000 Damages
i'm COnSeU neuce.

HI consequence
Minneapolis sidewalks, while perhaps
things of beauty, are not joys forever. as
the large number of suits against the city
on account of them show. Before Judge
Young yesterday morning was begun one
that will prove of considerable interest, in
asmuch as $4,000 damages are asked for.
The plaintiff is Diana Baudette, woman
of perhaps % years of age. The morning
of May %, 1886, while walking along
Washington avenue north, between Third
and Fourth avenues. she stepped upon a
loose plank and was thrown violently to
the ground, sustaining serious injuries to
her back. She has been an invalid ever
since, and was brought into the court room
in an easy chair, as she was unable to walk.
Her face was drawn with pain, and many
Of the spectators were moved almost to
tears at the sight of her. The case will
probably be concluded to-day.

TO BRIDGE THE TRACKS.
An Offer of This Character Made
by the Milwaukee ROad.


At the meeting yesterday of the council
committee on railroads and the aldermen
from the Seventh and Eighth wards with
the officials of the Milwaukee road in reia-
ton to the bridging of the tracks at
the intersections of certain streets and ave-
nues, the railroad representatives made
the proposition to lower their tracks eleven
feet and bridge those that were inside the
city limits when the right of way was given
the company, if the city would agree to
bridge the others. The proposition will be
presented in writing to the committee next
Thursday, when action will be taken. In
case it is accepted about one-half of the
cost of the Improvements will fall upon the
city. This is matter in which the citizens
of the Eighth ward are deeply interested,
and an effort will be made to have the offer
accepted. The streets to be bridged lie te-
tween Fort avenue south and Lake of the
lies ON the Hastings & Dakota division, a
distance Of three miles.
